General Your 2025 team

[BigUCE]

Wonder if Tanah Boyd is in the middle of shifting over? One of the players that wasn’t in any of the training pictures and videos but looking on the Warriors site, he’s not listed on the team roster yet? JFH, Clark and Healey on there without their pictures yet, presumably hasn’t been updated since Boyd signed?

Pretty sure him and his young family arrived yesterday.

Poor bugger will be wondering what he’s done with our contrasting weather to what he’s used to

Looking at the list on the warriors site - some odd positional designations there ... RTS is still a centre, CHT the only halfback, marata and Sifakula second row, Barney a lock...

Has been like that for years. Girl that runs the page may not know about positions.

I thought so too. 7 second rowers and 4 locks, many who could play prop. I counted 28 on there, so with Boyd must be 29

Also Motu Pasikala is missing making it 30. On the NRL signing tracker he is in the top 30.

When you look at the numbers that Laban has put forward in nsw cup and first grade, I’m surprised he’s not in more people’s team. Plus he’s about our biggest forward behind Tohu perhaps? Really think Halasima is going to be something special, but I’d have him playing another season of nsw cup and some more first grade when deserved to build his defensive game a bit more tackling in first grade at 84%

You realise his worst defensive stats were the Bulldogs game where he got pushed out to Centre. It was also his first FG game. If you exclude that game his defence is 92%. Might want to give him some more FG games before deciding he is a defensive liability.

You guys are seriously not taking my team seriously enough. It's the best one here boys , stop kidding yourselves.

Barnett off the bench, could work, does Tohu spell Walker or have a rest

Think you’re exaggerating my comment a little by saying I’ve deemed him a defensive liability, but Laban Warriors rookie of the year and nsw cup team of the year suggests he had a pretty good season and can’t be far away

plus Paskiala is not listed

 

[Noitall]

Looking at all the pictures of the squad so far back at training Demitric Vaimauga looks a real character and he and Zyon Maiu’u look like they’re going to add a lot of energy to the team. I thought it was noticeable the lift in the team when Zyon Maiu’u got his debut off the bench and similarly with Halasima. They all seem very popular in the squad

Tofu should just retire

I think they’re going to try and simplify Tohu’s role as much as possible. I posted yesterday, and others also noted about how the Warriors site had some odd positions for members of the team. When you have a look at the squad on the Wikipedia page, the positions seem much more likely, though no Tanah Boyd listed yet. There are a few I thought were interesting, one being Tohu listed as lock alone. Another being Tuaupiki listed as a sole fullback, with CNK listed as fullback/five eighth and RTS listed centre/fullback/wing. The other being Pompey listed as centre/second row

 

[Playdaball]

I wouldn't carry Lussick on the bench. I don't think the coach would agree with me though.

 

[Cces]

plus Paskiala is not listed

Has there ever been a confirmation of what his 3 year deal entails? I think most people, including myself, assumed it was straight to Top 30 but it may begin with a DC

This is from the club and just says 3 years. When you look at Going and TSS included in this and both being development players. Make you wonder if he has a 3 year deal as a development player and the fact he hasn't played FG yet.

New contracts for Going, Stowers-Smith and Pasikala

Kalani Going, Tanner Stowers-Smith and Motu Pasikala re-sign with One New Zealand Warriors.
